Man cannot live by bread alone

Before coming away I found the details of the Anglican Chaplaincy in Biarritz on the "A Church Near You" website, and had hoped to worship with them today. However when I phoned yesterday to ask the time of the service, I found that there wasn't one today, as there had been a big service yesterday to instal a new chaplain. Hence a day being a tourist - must have been in God's plan!

This area is very much part of the Basque country, with all the road signs etc in French and Basque. Food-wise it's not easy to tell whether you're in France, Spain or somewhere else; I've just eaten a very nice plate of paella, at the same place as I had gaspacho and thon basquaise last night. One friend suggested that this was just a gourmet tour, and I keep being reminded of this when I'm reading restaurant menus. But one does have to eat, and Jesus did tell His disciples to eat the local food - or something of the sort!
